No quantization in our catalogue fits this machine.
2 GPUs providing 192 GB aggregate VRAM. Assumes tensor- or layer-parallel sharding; each GPU carries its own context and communication buffers. Interconnect: PCIe 5.0 x16.
Mixture of experts: all 1020B parameters must be resident in memory even though only ~42B are active per token. Memory follows total parameters; speed follows active parameters.
Multi-GPU throughput depends heavily on interconnect. Without NVLink or NVSwitch, tensor parallelism over PCIe adds latency that partially offsets the extra bandwidth.

How the estimate is calculated
  1. Multi-GPU: 1792 GB/s per card, with each additional card contributing 40% of its bandwidth — 2509 GB/s effective, not the 3584 GB/s aggregate. Cross-GPU collectives use PCIe rather than a dedicated GPU fabric.
  2. Decode: reading 42.0B active parameters at 4.85 bits/weight takes 14.10 ms at 2509 GB/s x 72% achieved efficiency.
  3. MoE routing penalty of 15% applied: expert gathers are less bandwidth-efficient than a dense sweep.
  4. Prefill: 380 TFLOPS (FP16) x 2 for native FP8 tensor cores x 26% assumed model-FLOPs utilisation, divided by 2 x 207.0B parameters per token.
  5. Prefill uses 207.0B effective parameters, not the 42B active in decode: a batch of hundreds of tokens routes across most of the expert pool.

  • MoE decode depends on how well the engine batches expert gathers; real results vary more than for dense models.
  • Prefill throughput is highly engine-dependent. Flash attention, batch size and quantized KV all move this number substantially, and for sparse mixture-of-experts models it is the least reliable figure we produce.
  • This is a calculated estimate, not a measurement. It assumes a single request, a short prompt, no speculative decoding and a warm model already resident in memory.

The $100 comparison uses the Codex Pro 5x / Claude Max 5x plans. A fixed planning conversion is used for USD. This compares monthly spend only: subscriptions have usage limits, local hardware has different capabilities and constraints, and taxes or regional pricing may change the charged amount. Prices checked 7 September 2026.
